“Black Friday” Security

ODS — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:00:38 +0000

With the news of the high number of violent incidents associated with the “Black Friday” sales, many retailers will possibly be looking to overhaul their security plans for some of the busiest shopping days of the year. The extreme bargains offered by retailers have caused some shoppers to act in very inappropriate manners. Retailers will need to consider a higher level of security to minimize liability and litigation from these incidents, and the use of Off Duty Police Officers has been on the increase with many companies. If using Off Duty Police officers is being considered by your company, please call Off Duty Services for information about our services.

Active Shooter Incidents

With the active shooter incident at the University of Texas, it reinforces the need for preparedness and training in advance of these tragic events. Due to the increase in such occurrences, many facilities have introduced procedures for dealing with these incidents. One aspect being considered by facility management teams is to have armed security on-site for an immediate response to the threat. Off duty police officers are the perfect solution. Police officers are highly trained and will have instant communications with responding on-duty police officers. If your facility’s procedures include adding off duty police officers as on-site security, please contact Off Duty Services for assistance and quote.

Do you live or operate a business near the Atlantic or Gulf Coast? If so, you are aware the 2010 hurricane season is upon us. The next two months are the most active months for storm development, so it is vital to have a plan and prepare in advance. Off Duty Services has been preparing to supply police officers to customers before and after a storm makes landfall. We have been communicating with our police officers throughout the Nation to ensure coverage regardless of where a storm hits. You always hope a storm does not strike, but you must be ready for when it does.

Who is liable?

Does your company employ off duty police officers directly?

If the answer is “yes” to the above question, your company may have civil liabilities for the officer’s actions or personal injuries. There is a common misconception the police officer’s law enforcement agency will be liable for injuries and actions of the officer while working off duty assignments. This is completely dependent on the circumstances of the incident and should be researched by your company’s HR department. Off Duty Services offers a comprehensive insurance policy (General Liability, Worker’s Comp, Auto and Umbrella policies) for the protection of our customers and the police officers.
